1.4 Track Fixing Accessories

To fix Track to a Ceiling, various accessories are required for a successful installation. This includes:

1.4.1 Track Brackets

  • – 55mm Threaded Hole
  • – 55mm Unthreaded Hole
  • – 55mm Slotted Hole
  • – 110mm Threaded Hole
  • – 110mm Unthreaded Hole
  • – 110mm Slotted Hole

All Brackets stated are suitable for each type of Ceiling Track referred in this manual.

For Ceiling Track Installation, a Threaded Track Bracket is the first choice to use; an Unthreaded Bracket is the preferred option when used with Turntable Fixings. (Depending on the Turntable Mounting Hole state) The 55mm is the Standard Bracket to use to suspend a Track, and the 110mm being used to link two Tracks together.

Track Brackets are supplied with Wedges which are fitted to secure a Ceiling Track to the Bracket.

1.4.2 Steel Channel (Unistrut)

Steel Channel is used for almost every Ceiling Track Installation. The Channel is the link between the Ceiling Fixings, and the Track Bracket. It is used to spread the load between Ceiling Fixings and allows simpler alignment of the Track Brackets location.

The Steel Channel is supplied in at any length required but is required to be a box section of 41×41.

For installations where the Ceiling Fixings are above 600mm apart. Double Steel Channel is used for additional strength. 82×41

The Steel Channel can be cut to size to suit the installation requirements.

Zykon Fixings

Zykon Fixings are required for installing a Track System into a Solid Concrete Ceiling. We recommend only to use Zykon and no other similar fixing accessory during Track installation.

Always ensure to refer to the Manufacturer’s Instructions along with our guidance on the correct use of these fixings.

The Zykon fixing we recommend are the Fischer FZEA II 14×40 M12 Thread, as we recommend the use of M12 Threaded Bar for all installations to ensure safe instalment of any Track System.

For further information on Zykon Fixings and how they work, refer to the Manufacturer’s Instructions.

To fix a Zykon fixing to the Ceiling, only the Zykon Universal Drill Piece 40×14 should be used, along with the Fischer Setting Tool FZED 14 Plus.

1.4.4 Chemical Resin

Chemical Resin is a method of fixing a Track System into a Concrete Ceiling or Brick/Block Wall. We recommend only to use the Fischer FIS-VL 410C Chemical Resin and no other similar substance to install the Ceiling Track System.

Always ensure to refer to the Manufacturer’s Instructions along with our guidance on the correct use of these fixings.

The Chemical Resin is a substance which requires Gel and Curing Time, see the Table below which are the Manufacturer’s recommended Gel and Curing Time.

For further information on the Chemical Resin and how it works, refer to the Manufacturer’s Instructions.
